The Oscars are all well and good, but sometimes you just need to reward the skin-peelingly bad movies, too. It takes a certain amount of effort to make a really bad film – it’s surprisingly difficult to fund, pitch, and produce a movie that makes people want to vomit.
Thank goodness for the Razzies. If not for their brave efforts, we might never realize how truly bad I Know Who Killed Me is.

The first time I saw Aladdin was on my seventeenth birthday. I think everyone has a few Disney classics that they just miss somehow; for me, it was Aladdin. Maybe my mom thought lamp-genies were Satanic or something. (Ironically, it was my youth group that hosted the party and Aladdin-viewing.)
During the famous musical sequence “A Whole New World,” my friend Brian leaned over and whispered to me, “this song is about drugs.”

The Brits had one monster hit on their hands with 28 Days Later, and this spurred them on to try all sorts of movies for release in the states, including the spectacular career that spawned Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz. But now, the term “successor” is being bandied around, and I hope we’re not taking it lightly, but Zombies of Night just might be the true successor.
The plotline is a real winner, by the looks of it—a young man with a failing eBay business living in the height of the foot and mouth disease epidemic wakes up for breakfast one morning to find his parents are now zombies.

The fact that Troma still exists is a fact that has me somewhat confused. Oh, sure, Troma’s been putting out over-the-top direct to video movies since there was a top to go over, and Lloyd Kaufman is pretty much recognized as the king of low-budget movie making. So much so that he’s actually got a how-to-make-movies guide out there called “Make Your Own Damn Movie”, and that speaks to a whole lot of experience.
What that experience will offer up this time around, however, is a real puzzler. It’s called Retardead—no nasty letters, please, that is the ACTUAL NAME OF THE MOVIE—and it’s about a mad doctor run amok in the Butte County Institute of Special Education. Armed with a faulty hyper-intelligence serum, mad Doctor Stern will raise an army of flesh-eating zombies, to which the FBI and the local sheriff’s department will respond to in a blood-soaked furor.

For many of us, the single most painful tragedy we experienced before the age of ten was the death of Bambi’s mom.
We might have lost a few goldfish and maybe even a cat, but Bambi lost his mommy! A whole generation of vegetarians was born out of Disney’s semi-innocent effort at anthropomorphizing a fawn. We were all affected by Bambi, and many of us went years before we watched it again.
Bambi is trippy. Remember that lovey-dovey sequence, where Bambi prances through a fantasy world of pink clouds and has a bizarre, horrific fight with another male deer over mating rights? Just plain odd.
